PLUS: 23andMe’s bankruptcy

Welcome to SaaS Wire — your backstage pass to the hottest in software and services!

What we’ll cover today:

  • Google’s 2-year AI panic to catch OpenAI

  • 23andMe’s bankruptcy and your DNA’s safety

  • 2 upcoming SaaS events that matter this month

Google and OpenAI are two big names in AI. Google wanted to lead the chatbot race but OpenAI zoomed ahead!

🚨Breaking News:
Google spent two years playing AI catch-up after OpenAI’s ChatGPT boom—resulting in layoffs, stress, and fewer safety guardrails.

⚡Wire Simplified –

  • Google had the AI tools first but didn’t launch them fast enough.

  • OpenAI’s ChatGPT took the world by storm in late 2022.

  • Google went into panic mode—more launches, less sleep, fewer rules.

  • Many employees were laid off or moved to speed up progress.

  • Gemini is Google’s answer to ChatGPT, but it came after the hype.

✔️Straight to the Point –
Google may have built the tech first but missed the moment. Now it’s moving fast—even if it breaks a few things.

🎤 Who do you think is leading the AI race right now?
